Great game! Gave it 5/5 in innovation, mood and actually in overall :) I think this game has great innovative mechanics and gives right mood for the player. Music is also very nice. Graphics could be improved a bit, mostly the background image. This is a great submission! I hope you would decide to make a postjam version and put into some game store, because it has great potential!
Funny game! Definitely nails the theme!
Hahaha, very nice game! I really enjoyed playing it, and the russian voice acting is soo iconic. Did you do it yourself? :)
Haha, very fun game! I like how you are supposed to reach the exit by jumping from one object to another. Graphics is simplistic, but fits the game very well. Great job!
Awesome game! I really enjoyed playing it! Graphics is very cute and each level has a different mechanic. Great submission!
Nice little game :)
Great idea and good implementation. Very nice puzzle mechanics and fun to play.
Simple but addictive game, ideal for compo. Graphics is simple and stylish. Great work!
Nice graphics, great idea. Not really to the theme, but still a great game.
Nice small game lol :D This naughty button keeps sneaking out from under the mouse!
This game reminds me Tetris :) The resulting stack is definitely unstable :D Great job!
Haha, great simulator of the office life! Btw, I was confused by the guy who wanted papers with diagrams. I found same papers on the table, but couldn't grab them. Only later I have found the same papers on the printer, and then it worked. Probably would be good to use different texture for decorations. All in all, great game! I have enjoyed playing it!
Its cool you have made a game for the ZX Spectrum computer! Great work!
Hey! Thanks for sending us your game to play on stream!
Its an interesting game to play, though last levels were a bit frustrating. I had to replay them a lot of times. Anyway, I have managed to complete the game! I want to point out that character control is really nice and smooth.
Cool small game, it would be nice to have it less complicated :)
Unfortunately you weren't present on the stream. Maybe you would want to check out the recording: https://youtu.be/vC17EaL3CcI?t=11366
Hey! Thanks for sending us the game to play on stream!
This game has AWESOME aestetics and graphics style.
The only downside is the controls. For some reason shooting up-left didn't work for me (while shooting up-right did 🤷). Also sometimes collisions took two hears instead of one which was a bit frustrating.
Its super great that you have made multiple stages with different styles and different enemies! Also its awesome you had bosses (though to be honest they were quite easy, much easier than normal rooms :) I had fun playing your game and I am happy I was able to finish it :)
Great work, keep up!

Hey! Thanks for sending your game to us to play on stream!
This was fun small game! Cows are super cute 😍 I really liked this UFO ray mechanic. It would be nice addition to be able to throw some objects to the UFO to temporarily block the ray.
My stats: time 468.02s, 17 restarts.

Hey! Thanks for sending us this game to play on stream!
Its a nice short game with different mechanics. It was surprising and nice to find out that each part of the body has its own game play. Also I like the setting which reminded me of the old "Inner Space" movie :)
As a small addition, it would be great to have some particle effect or animation when you kill the enemies.

Hey! Thanks for sending us this game to play on stream!
I enjoyed playing this game! Its nice that you can try running both on inside and on the outside. The leaderboard is a nice addition. Its a pity I couldn't reach the 1st place, I will definitely try again when I'll be fresh :) Its also cool that everything is made procedurally.

Hey! Thanks for submitting your game for us to play on stream!
Its a really nice game, which greatly fits the theme! I like the mechanic where you have to draw signs to kill demons (though considering the D-one, I would prefer to have SFW mode). I also like that there is a boss fight.
It was definitely fun to play, though a bit difficult for me. Great game!

Hey! Thanks for submitting the game for us to play on the stream!
I really enjoyed playing this one, it was extremely fun! It's cool that you can try different configurations of the submarine and have fun with each other!
I missed having bubbles (or any other particle effect) from the engines that were active when I press the button. Sometimes its difficult to remember which buttons are assigned to which side, especially when your submarine is rotating :) Also it would be great to be able to shift submarine in the editor (e.g. having a button to shift left, shift right, etc.) so that it would be easier to edit your submarine.
Great submission! Definitely 5/5 for fun and for theme, at least!

Hey! Thanks for submitting the game for us to play on stream!
The game is really well done. Graphics, animations and music are so polished. I like the story and the plot twist at the end of the game. What I would like to know is what happened to the cat? :)

Hey! Thanks for submitting the game for us to play on stream! Really great for a first submission. Great graphics and nice animations!
It would be cool to have some decorations on the sides instead of "transparent walls". Also would be awesome if you had some jokes if player tries to go into the wrong direction.
Great submission, keep doing games!

Hey! Thanks for submitting the game to our stream! This game has great graphics and aestetics. I have also enjoyed the gameplay. Its simple, but fun. I was able to complete the game after I learned that I don't have to fight every enemy 😆
Also you have numbers swapped in in-game boxes and in the menu. But that's a minor thing.

Awesome idea, nice gameplay and cool graphics. Great job!
Haha, nice game! I managed to escape the minotaur multiple times, but then he got me caught in the long corridor with no exit. I was scared and thought about imminent death! :) But then I discovered you have the "hide" mechanic and was able to run away.
Cool game, nice to play :) Very smooth graphics and awesome minotaur sound.
Nice game! For me the player moves too fast, I expected it to be a bit slower. Also, I was surprised that jump is done by Up Arrow. I would expect a Space, for example. Thanks for including the controls hint at the game start though :)
Intersting game with simple mechanic. I enjoyed playing it. It would be very cool to have some animation when you deliver the goods - I really missed that. There is a sound effect, but visual effect would also be nice to have. Great job!
Awesome submission! Really cool puzzle mechanics. A bit difficult to get used to it first, but when you understand it, its very interesting to play. Graphics is amazing. Frog sound effects are top notch! Best game I played on this LD so far :D
Haha nice twist on the theme! It would be nice if when you fail the game showed you the correct layout. Also it was not obvious that you have to memorize two layouts before starting the game.
There is already a lot of comments mentioning Portal and definitely this game has a lot of Portal vibes in it. It would be a great reference to have companion cube and cake in the game. Oh, wait, cake is a lie...
So, nice idea, great puzzle, intersting mechanics. Great job!
Hahaha cool idea! Great graphics and nice sound! On the other hand, camera movement is very inconvenient for me and I really dislike it. It would be better if it was more smooth. Also, it would be great to spawn at different parts of the level, so you would see your past selves coming on you, not all from the same point.
Nice small game :) It was fun throwing stuff around to hide illegal items. I think the items themselves could be more funny (definitely, rocket launcher is a good illegal item, but notebook is boring). The gameplay gets repetitive quite fast, staying in the same room. Having multiple rooms, or at least bot spawning at different points, would be great addition.
Cool stylized graphics, great trading gameplay. Music fits the game perfectly. Nice job!
Hahaha. Nice small stealth game! I like the effect when enemy finds you and you transform into bones :)
Game is very polished. Explosions and car damage add so much juice to the game.
Its a bit disappointing that gameplay is repetitive.
Great submission!
This. Is. Awesome.
I have a hamster at home and he does the same wheel run every night. Is he trying to become a hamsternaut?
This game made me laugh! Perfect fit for the theme, awesome humor. And the "Hamster!" sound. You made my day. Thanks for making and submitting this game!
Hahaha, very fun! It would be cool to have WASD or arrow keys controls but otherwise the game is great!
Nice game! Motion blur seems pretty strong. Maybe not completely remove it as suggested in the comments above, but at least it should be less strong. Also I had hard time finding a weapon and, when found it, had only about 10 shots. This is not that fun :) I suggest putting out more ammo and weapons to be found. Great job, enjoyed playing the game!
Nice game! Simple but fun. I had a small glitch in WebGL version which looks like horizontal 1-pixel seams between separate planes appear and disappear while driving. Enjoyed playing the game!
Interesting game, though quite difficult :) I couldn't survive more than 3-5 waves of enemies (4 years 8 months is my top score) whatever strategy I did try. Anyway, I really like the idea and the implementation. Great job!
Whoa! I did it, I completed it! Cool game, enjoyed playing it! Here is a playthrough video (SPOILERS ALERT):
https://youtu.be/rVob-4O2EpU
HealtNotFoundException, yay! As a fellow programmer I really like your take on the theme :) Cool graphics, nice audio! Enjoyed playing your game, thanks for submitting it!
Wow, the story is so non-linear! I tried to play all the combinations and enjoyed it. Great humor, awesome submission! И клево, что есть русская локализация! :)
Wow, cool graphics! It would be great to have the game a bit longer (for example, just add more encounters of the same enemies). Also, I think cooldown for enemies after attack should be a bit shorter. I really enjoyed playing this game.
Fun game and good graphics. I had some graphics glitch (at some vertical positions there was a one-pixel horizontal bar under some tiles), but that was not a big deal. It would be also cool to have a parallax effect for background trees. Interesting submission!
Nice game and cool graphics! Pew sound is also very fun :) It would be cool to have some particles or color flash when you are damaged (there is a sound and animation, but they are difficult to notice when you are focused on the game). Great work!
Awesome graphics! Game looks very polished! Levels are challenging but you can beat them after a bit of dying :) I like what creatures say, especially the poor porcupine at the bottom of the pit. Also I like the idea of birds making poo when you run underneath. My only suggestion is to make those birds pigeons :) Great submission!
Very funny game! I like the mouth-shaped enemy. Fun simple action with interesting twist on how you attack enemies. I would like to have more health though, it seems that I am dying from a first hit.
Game is very fun and I like the animations of the horse :) Controls are a bit hard for me, so I found myself in a situation where I run shooting all over the field to the end, kill enemies there, collect the booze, and run all through field back without doing anything with the in-between guys. And enemies were spawning quite fast so those middle guys were killing me :) I really enjoyed playing your game, I like its mechanics. Great work!
Nice game! Graphics is very good, I like it! What I noticed is that when enemies attack you, they stop too far away, so your attacks do not reach them. You have to push yourself forward to them to make attacks actually work.
Also having a WebGL build would be nice.
Funny game! I didn't understand at first that cops are undressing you back and was wondering why am I losing my clothes :) Thought that they are just wearing a kind of outfit. I enjoyed playing the game - cool idea and great implementation!
Cool and unique gameplay! Wasn't too challenging for me though, maybe add more monsters? There is a strange behaviour when you try to jump very close to a box the hero just rotates in place -- you have to get back a bit and jump again. I enjoyed playing the game!
Great work! Cool gameplay, nice graphics. As it has already been pointed out, it feels weird having diagonal-looking characters in this vertical-horizontal world. Also, I would prefer not to have movement of camera when switching between rooms - I think immediate switch would be better, otherwise it distracts you. And I suggest to add some global map to help navigate between rooms.
This is definitely one of the best entries of LD45! I really enjoyed it, puzzles in the last level are very tough. Graphics is superawesome! Music sets the great mood!
Well done game! It could be a little bit more dynamic in my opinion. Also it would be cool to have a multiplayer, but I suppose that's too much to ask from a jam game :) Great submission!
I really like how use the ASCII graphics here.
Nice submission, but really hard to play. Also bugs are a bit disappointing. Maybe submit a bugfix? It is allowed by the rules...
This is a really cool idea! I like how you combine the elements and progress life on this flat planet.
I really like the idea of invisible walls that you can uncover by shooting. And graphics looks so great! Great submission!
Cool idea and nice way to learn the language. I like it! It could be great to offer a choice of real-word languages. Would be an awesome learning tool!
Nice short game! Really enjoyed the "setting', reminds me of myself a bit :)
Those slimes look so peaceful... Until they hit you hard. I like how the swords roll around :) Graphics is simple but cool. Great job!
Graphics looks good and gameplay is interesting. Good job!
This is the funniest game of this LD :) Especially fun to watch at streams. Great job!
Hey, very nice roguelike! Great graphics and lovely enemies (especially liked the one that looks like Cacodemon). Small detail: clickable areas for menu items are off for my screen resolution, maybe you want to fix that.
Btw, thanks for playing our game on the stream, that was awesome :)
I am in total love with the sound effects! Also gameplay is nice and addictive. Great job!
Graphics in this game is incredibly amazing! Also the puzzle elements are really cool. I really like how all the animals behave and how they was used to create great puzzles. Cat is perfectly animated and petting the animal after completing the level is sooooo cute! This is awesome submission!
Very nice pixel art and I really like the idea of deciding if person should live or die :) Perfect fit for the theme. Though platforming makes it a bit complicated to play.
Nice game. Graphics, even though looks simple, is actually very good. A lot of effort has been put into the robot. And I like the wheat/energy/toast/life cycle. Fits theme very well.
This is really cool zombie simulator! I never though before how difficult it is to be a zombie, when you have to continuously eat fresh brains or you'll die. This submission is amazing, really cool art and nice twist on the theme. Great job!
This is really cool idea, although the game is quite difficult to play. Or is it just me? Anyway, I enjoyed stealing fellow humans and transforming them into cocktails for the sake of getting more fuel :)
Awesome puzzle game. Very addictive, you can't stop playing :) Nice twist on the theme! Laser guy is really annoying, but it is makes you so happy when you avoid him in a difficult situation.
Awesome graphics and nice game mechanics. Very fun to play!
Incredible submission! Art is amazing, monsters are awesome. And I really enjoyed that sound when you are killing a robot :)
Nice game, cool visual effects.
Nice use of theme. Dodging mechanic improves gameplay a lot. Graphics can be improved though. It would be nice if characters had at least simple walk animation. Good job!
This is hilarious! Enemies are awesome and make me totally rofl. The screaming guy reminds me of Serious Sam. Gameplay is very dynamic and addictive. Awesome work, guys!!
Nice game but took some time for me to understand how to play. After that I have enjoyed playing. Graphics is cool and I like how it fits the theme.
Great game, but for some reason I didn't get contracts for "green", and my red resources depleted too fast. I really like the idea and graphics is amazing. Great job!
I have enjoyed the game, though it gets repetitive. It would be nice to have different enemies and weapons. When you die, you realize that money you thought you collected were actually a price for your head :) Nice twist :)
I really like the way Stanley was drawn and animated :) Great job!
This is really nice interpretation of Tower Defence. Graphics is awesome. The game feels complete and I enjoyed playing it.
This is so awesome. The idea, graphics and, especially, sound is so great. I really like this submission.
Cool idea with the reverse metroidvania! 5/5 for innovation :)
Great idea, cool graphics and fits theme perfectly :) Nice submission!
This is so awesome. And very philosophical in the end :) Sacrifice yourself for your boss to enjoy his life. I enjoyed playing it, thanks for the game!
I like how the world is implemented. But I didn't understand how to play: I have found the orb, but what's next? Where is the fuel? It would be nice if you had a little more information in the description.
Wow, this is so great! Big thanks for the tutorial - it was really helpful. Music and graphics are awesome.
Man, this is awesome use of the theme, 100% fit! Also, the graphics is great and I really like the animal life voiceover. 10 monkeys of 10!
Very nice idea, great graphics, but controls are not "little tricky", they are completely crazy.
Nice idea, great graphics and amazing intro. There are some minor issues: audio is not synchronized with subtitles at the beginning, and also water doesn't have "water physics".
Awesome music and graphics, very nice gameplay and you can sacrifice yourself. Great work!
In the web version message does not fit to the screen and it is impossible to start the game.
I didn't understand how to drink fresh water from the inventory. Tried to drink sea water and Paula has died. So I had to eat her, muahahahaha.
Awesome. Did my best to upset the community.
Great submission! Cool idea and very nice graphics! Although, camera controls are not very convenient on the top of the mountain.

The graphics is really awesome, very stylish. Big kudos to the artist! I had to take multiple attempts before I discovered correct answers. Its nice that correct answers are not obvious. Nice game!

Haha, awesome game! Really enjoyed. It would be nice to have more polished character graphics, otherwise its perfect.
